Sancti Spíritus Clave Choir, a prominent Cuban choral group, re-founded in 1961 by maestro Rafael Gómez Mayea, author of the well-known piece Pensamiento and choir director. This group was founded by the Sancti Spíritus singer-songwriter Juan Echemendía, who named his group Coro or Club La Yaya.

In its beginnings, the choir was made up only of men, a fact that changed as, over time, female voices were added to its ranks, giving it the sonority it exhibits today.

Currently, the Sancti Spíritus Clave Choir is made up of fourteen singers, nine women and five men. Its ensemble also includes instruments such as the guitar, tres, clave, maracas, bongo drums, and marímbula, all of which accompany their melodious voices.

The repertoire they showcase in each of their performances includes both old songs and pieces created by contemporary composers. It consists of Pasacalles, Claves, and Rumbas, genres performed by this type of group.

Some of the pieces they perform are: Trinitarian Postcards, El sarito, When the Grandma, Divine Inspiration, Little Flower of Yayabo and My Spirituano Choir.

Among its ranks is Gerardo Echemendía, popularly known as Serapio, the creator of countless pasacalles, claves, and rumbas.

The Sancti Spíritus Clave Choir is the only group of its kind that maintains its original elements within Cuban music; it is a group that preserves a tradition and is also a symbol of one of the most legitimate expressions of Cuban music.
